Magical Alsace

Give your holiday some French charm

You are just 24 minutes from Strasbourg by train. Alsace really is just a stone's throw away.

Centuries-old timbered houses decorated with beautiful flowers, stork nests on the roofs, quaint wine taverns - even in the "city of Europe" Strasbourg you will find this quaint charm in the narrow streets of the old town. Particularly picturesque villages, in which time seems to stand still, include Colmar, Riquewihr and the "round village" of Eguisheim.

For families with children, the Château Haut-Königsburg - and the nearby monkey forest and chocolate museum in Geispolsheim near Strasbourg are also worthwhile day trip destinations. And if you want to find cheap shopping then we recommend the outlet shopping centre in Roppenheim am Rhein.
